This file is broken up into a number of small methods each tasked with drawing one discrete element of the GUI. These methods are then called by the draw() method which is in turn called when the game engine detects that something has changed on the screen.
Methods should be as modular as it makes sense for them to be, with an eye towards keeping the XO from having to draw too much too often. In other words, try to build as much as possible at once, but move anything that gets reused often to it's own method.
